As I mentioned in last week’s Reminder, I fell on my knee and ruptured the quadricep tendon in my right leg. As a result, I spent two weeks in a hospital while the tendon was reattached. This resulted in my wife Marcia and I being on the receiving end of lots and lots of kindness. Just when I thought that I had seen all the kindness I was going to see for a while, the doorbell rang. It turned out to be a small entourage from Trader Joe’s which is my favorite store. They brought us a bouquet of sunflowers (my favorite) and a card carrying the well wishes from 25 store employees!! This is a great example of how kind people never have to face adversity alone!!
